RFMD reveals devices for wireless applications
The two new modules, which employ gallium arsenide technology, operate between 5MHz and 4000MHz
RFMD has unveiled two new multifunctional devices based on GaAs pHEMT and silicon CMOS technology.
The RFSA2644 and RFSA2654 are suited to transceiver RF and IF applications, 2G, 3G, LTE, WiMax/WiFi, wireless data, satellite terminals, test equipment, CATV, cable modems and data network equipment.
Both modules, which have 6-bit digital step attenuators, feature high linearity over their entire 31.5dB gain control range with step accuracy in 0.5dB steps. They are programmed via a serial mode control interface that is both 3V and 5V compatible. The devices also offer a rugged Class 1C HBM ESD rating via on-chip ESD circuitry and the MCM packages are footprint-compatible with most 24-pin, 4mm x 4mm, QFN packages.
The RFSA2644 operates between 50MHz and 4000MHz while the RFSA2654 is suited to 5MHz to 2000MHz applications with IP3 above 50dBm for all steps.
Both the RFSA2644 and RFSA2654 are currently available in production quantities. Pricing begins at $1.76 each for 750 pieces.
